Countdown! Pride Celebration Kick-Off Party

It’s a countdown to Pride! Join SAAM, BYT, and the CapitalPride Alliance on the eve of Pride as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, celebrate our LGBTQ+ community, honor our outstanding leaders and activists, and launch the 2019 Capital Pride Celebration.

Join us for an OPEN BAR kick-off party like you’ve never seen before with music, dancing, art activities, and plenty of other reveals! You will also be able to learn more about LGBTQ+ artists in SAAM’s collection.

Be sure to take a look outside the museum when you arrive, as the building will be bathed in rainbow lights – an awesome opportunity to take the perfect Pride pic with your friends.

This is a 21+ event!
